    Well the fights not going to happen anyway. But 80/20 is not workable. AJ is still a massive name. OK its negative but look at attention his rant got? Their are easy fights for AJ that would generate him a lot more cash than a 20% share of the Fury fight. AJ Whyte probably sells OK in the UK. 70% of that probably more than 20% of the Fury fight? I even think AJ Chisora could do better numbers than people think after delboy flips a few tables. AJ not as bad as some are saying post-Usyk he still beats the likes of Whyte with relative ease. There are good easy paydays out there for him

    I don't think any mega fights happen in November/December. When we talk about crossover fights in UK what that really means is selling PPV to football fans. You don't try and do that in the middle of a World Cup

    The fact Fury has already offered AJ 40% Online today proves my point. 50-60% of a fight with AJ is more than 100% with anyone else. I suspect they may both settle for 55-45%.

    Nah, it should be 100-0 and Joshua fights for nothing. That's the way a real fighting man would do it.

    Fury also gets the right to inject as much boar meat as he wants, while Juicy J's dealers are kept under watch 24/7 to stop him going off his mind on drugs.

    I think 60/40 is a fair offer from Fury, perhaps 55/45. Fury deserves a bit more, he is the unbeaten champion. But there is no denying the commercial power AJ has.

    I hope this is not smokes and mirrors and actually gets made.

    So? 3 recent losses and not the champ. Given a fast track to title.

    So had he gotten the 500 million he was demanding to fight Usyk, he would have expected Usyk to get 500 million too? If so that makes it the most blatant duck ever.

    Joshua deserves at least 40%. Hes still a huge draw in the UK and with his name on the marquee alongside Fury im sure they would do good numbers on PPV in the states. Its still a fight alot of people are clamoring for apparently.

    60/40 is a fair offer and with a belt on the line,what else bigger does Joshua have in his current predicament ? 3 losses in his last 5 fights he will never get an offer as good as this anytime soon if ever. Joshua’s star appeal like his career is fading so best to make what he can from it now. It will be interesting to see what Joshua’s ppv numbers are when he next fights (not with Fury) after his two back to back losses to Usyk .

    AJ doesn't deserve 60/40. I'd say 70/30.

    Being tbe bigger name and a champ Fury should get the larger cut but more like 65-35.
